from Brother J. A. Thomas of the Louis

the only one in the county, and he deserves
all the better of his people for having
stayed with them and labored for their in

literally support its local press. The
newspaper is the advance guard of civiliZa-

push, and progress. A town without a
newspaper is dead indeed, but a newspaper
without toaon has been known to exist

The prohibitionists are making a vigorous
crusade against bar rooms in Henderson,
with strong probability of victory. If
there had been stricter execution Of the
law the past twelve months, there would,
we think, be but little opposition to its
continuance We regret the ministers of
the Gospel have thought it necessary to
enter the arena. To descend from the
highest calling man is heir to, the preach
ing of Christ and Him crucified" to the
sl1ms of whiskey and politics, of which they
are more ignorant than of theology, will,
we fear, initiate against their usefulness
in the advancement of that higher cause.
If our views upon this subject be wrong,
we at least have the consolation of know
ing they are the same as those entertained
by some OF the most eminent divine's of the
day.

We had the pleasure of short visit to
Kittrell on Saturday. Reaching there on
the early morning train, before many of
his quiet denizens had escaped from the
arms Of Morpheus, we strolled through
the town, coming upon some twenty-five or
thirty hands gathering tempting looking
strawberries on the premises OF Mr.. 0. w.
Blacknall. Extending our walk beyond
the corporate limits where the perfume Of
the dew laden wild honeysuckle was borne
upon the morning breeze, we could but
moralize upon the fate, or whatever it was,
that prevented the famed springs of this
place from being kept open as summer
resort for the pleasure seeker. as well as
the diseased in body. Here, during win
ter, many wealthy Northerners make their
home in the noted Davis Hotel, whose glass
covered porticos and verandas make it a
veritable conservatory of comfort and
pleasure in the bleakest weather. Kit
trell has cause to be proud of her record.
She has, eonfessedly, the best hotel in the
State; she is the god-mother of ''MaZeppa"
chewing tobacco: her corporation is entirely
out of debt; she has paid her preachers in
| full; given one of them horse in addition
she has the most fourishing and best con.

SOMETHING FOR YOU, YOUNG NAME.
E. Hight, the popular young jeweler, is
always studying to please and benefit his
| customers. Besides the large addition OF
clocks and jewelry he has lately made to
his already large and we'll selected stock,
he has put in several novelties to which he
invites the public attention. Conspicuous
among these is an improved collar button
and scarf understanding new. He has
heretofore sold something of the kind but
this is a new design and decided improve
ment Oh the other make. 1t is detachable.
while the other is not, the cap having two
sharp points which hold the scarf in posi-
ton when once properly adjusted 1t can
be seen at glance that the double spike is
All improvement OH the single one, this
preventing the cap or top of the button
from turning when once inserted in the
scarf. And then an improvement has
been made in another novelty carried only
by Mr.. Uight-a combination button and
scarf holder for use on the back part of the
collar. Formerly these buttons were
plated but as they would soon corrode Mr.
Hight discarded such goods from his stock
| and had them made i'll silver and solid
gold only. His patrons will appreciate
this bit of thoughtfulness and desire to
please on the part of Mr. Hight.

CHILDREN's DAY CELEBRATIoN.-1he
celebration of Children's Day by the
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school at
Burwell Hall Sunday afternoon, was a
very enjoyable occasion. There was a
large crowd present, the hall being we'll
filed. The singing and responsive read
ing of the school, ana the recitations of
some of the smaller scholars, was much
enjoyed, while the addresses of Rev. Frank
l.. Reid and W. H. P. Jenkins, Esq, came
in for their due portion of praise. Mr.
Reid S address was practical and timely,
his theme we'll chosen and his remarks
| most appropriate. We are sure there was
not young person present whose heart he
did not win. nor parent or grown person
who did not feel the truth of what he said.
The speech of Mr.. Jenkins was very ornate
in its nature, his thoughts wandering at
| pleasure through halls of classic lore, and
| plucking sweet flowers of choicest rhetoric
from the realm of poetry, he wove them at
will into beautiful bouquets of elegant die
ton, fragrant with the rich perfume of a
we'll stored mind coupled with the rare
gift of oratory, which he hung in garlands
| and chaplets about every word and SEN
tence that fell from his lips. 1t is enough
to say that Mr.. jenkins sustained his we'll
known reputation as an eloquent and i'm
FASHIONED speaker. Altogether the exer.
cises were of a very pleasant and enjoyable
nature and our Methodist friends have
cause to rejoice that Children's Day with
them was spent so we'll and profitably.
